2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Review
This new SUV is based on the 4Runner, but has styling inspired by Toyota's 1960s-era Land Cruisers. FJ Cruiser seats five and has two main doors, two rear-hinged rear access doors, and no pillar between. A swing-out cargo door has opening glass and mounts the spare tire. FJ comes with rear-wheel drive or with 4-wheel drive. The only engine is a 239-hp V6. Automatic transmission is standard. The 4WD version is also available with manual transmission. Two 4WD systems are used. Both have low-range gearing, but only the 4WD system used with manual transmission can be left engaged on dry pavement. Rear-drive FJs include a limited-slip rear differential. A locking rear differential is standard with manual transmission and 4WD, optional otherwise. All FJs have ABS, traction/antiskid control, and mud and snow tires. Available with 4WD is Toyota's A-TRAC off-road traction control system. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags are optional, as are rear obstacle detection, and an inclinometer showing vehicle tilt.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to eight-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.

Our Best Buy choice is the Honda Pilot. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Explorer, Ford Freestyle, Mazda CX-7, Nissan Murano, and Toyota Highlander.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Dodge Nitro, Ford Edge, GMC Acadia, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-7, Mazda CX-9, Saturn Outlook, Suzuki XL-7, and Toyota FJ Cruiser.
News
The FJ is just heading down the trail--more likely a highway--so there shouldn't be much news for a couple of years.
